Transvestia

also got a new cocktail dress with a nice soft line that does not accentuate the fuller figure. This was a floral light blue and fitted like a glove.

Going back to our hotel, we both rested and then I got into all my new foundations and new frock. That night we went to an exclusive SOHO restaurant where I again enjoyed my new found acceptance with the wonder- ful help of my fairy god mother's tolerance and love.

I do not like being left alone in public, but I spent a complete morning as Alga on my own browsing in the book shops. Each time I spotted myself in a shop mirror I felt a pleasurable glow of pride and thankfulness in having such an understanding wife and being able, with her help, to pass as a real lady in my own age group.

The only time I was 'READ' during our London Trip was when we went to the Ideal Homes Exhibition in Olympia and I stupidly asked a technical question from a girl on a furniture stand. This did cause us both a few moments of acute embarrassment until we lost our- selves in the crowd. But I was deeply sorry for my o- mission and the hurt it caused my beloved. Although I sound feminine on the phone in reality my voice is a give-away and now I am contented to go out only at night and avoid large public gatherings.

At the end of my London visit my wife trimmed my hair without losing it's long qualities, helped me with the aid of lacquer to keep it in shape for business and to day I am well able to give myself a nice hair style which will suit Alga or for business. Although I had to remove my skirts I have since then continuously worn complete undies, foundation and dark nylons for every day. Having Alga one layer under has given me a ra- tional way of accepting a side of my nature that could be otherwise very difficult to live with.

For all this I thank God for providing me with such a lovable, tolerant and understanding wife who in ad- dition has given me two fine boys and a lovely daughter.
